Wokingham Borough Council is seeking to understand how young people in the Wokingham Borough area are involved in arts activities and events, and their views on how to make the borough an arts and culture hub.

The survey is part of a wider consultation with young people about arts in the borough and is funded by Artswork, an organisation striving to empower children and young people through arts and culture.

If you are a young person, or a parent or carer of a young person and can help them fill in the survey, please do so HERE.

Fewer new homes may need to be built in Wokingham Borough if proposed changes to the national planning system go ahead – and residents are urged to have their say while the Government is still consulting. 

The Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities wants people’s views on the amendments, which it put forward in December, following Wokingham Borough Council’s sustained campaigning for a fairer deal on housing.

The Council believes this could significantly help it, and others in a similar position, to significantly reduce the number of homes being imposed and encourages everyone to respond before the deadline of Thursday, 2 March.

You can find out more and access the Survey HERE.
